Two years after Rihanna was assaulted by Chris Brown — and mere days after her restraining order against him was relaxed — previously unseen evidence photographs of Rihanna’s bruised and battered face — and a close up of her split lip — have been “leaked” online.

Two And A Half Men, the show featuring the highest paid actor in television, has halted production. The plug’s been pulled. The curtain is down. The decision came mere hours after Charlie Sheen called creator Chuck Lorre “a stupid, stupid little man and a pussy punk that I never want to be like.” [TMZ, Radar Online, ABC News]
After the show was shut down, Charlie Sheen wrote an open letter to TMZ, in which he said of Chuck Lorre: “this contaminated little maggot can’t handle my power and can’t handle the truth. I wish him nothing but pain in his silly travels especially if they wind up in my octagon. Clearly I have defeated this earthworm with my words — imagine what I would have done with my fire breathing fists. I urge all my beautiful and loyal fans who embraced this show for almost a decade to walk with me side-by-side as we march up the steps of justice to right this unconscionable wrong.” Oh, Chuckles. Delusions. You have them. [TMZ]
Chuckles “Carlos Estevez” Sheen claims he’s close to signing a deal with HBO for his own show. “It will be epic, all types of guests and we will focus on the truth and the absurd!” This we believe. [Radar Online]
